Glass-Polymer- Concrete Composite and Its Mechanical, Chemical and Thermal Properties

In this research, the production of glass-polymer-concrete (GPC) composite and comparing of its mechanical, chemical and thermal properties with the reference concrete have been investigated. The present work deals with study of ternary blended concrete with glass waste and polymer as reinforcement and binder. New product is designed for compressive strength of 52 MPa and other mechanical and thermal properties were improved. As well as the results revealed remarkable improvements in chemical resistance against harsh acidic environment; and decrease the absorption of moisture by 14%. Beside benefits for this research is to disposal amassed glass waste that increasing day after day. Statistical ANOVA and Box Welson techniques are used to lessen the trial and error tests (not shown).
